Shanhe Festival 201. The shocking secret, the ending of Su Zuidie

Although it was already the second watch, there were still people awake in Prince Ding's mansion.

Mo Xiuyao sat beside the bed and looked at Ye Li who was sleeping, his expression gentle and calm. He raised his hand and gently stroked her pale and beautiful face, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness and warmth. Beside the bed, a baby was also sleeping soundly in a small cradle covered with soft silk.

Looking at the big and small in front of him, Mo Xiuyao didn't have the slightest bit of sleepiness in his eyes. He leaned over to look at the baby in the cradle, and seeing that there was no one around, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinch his tender little face. Although he had been very careful to control the strength, the little baby still pouted uncomfortably as if he was about to cry. Mo Xiuyao quickly withdrew his hand, sat up straight and looked down at the baby in the cradle. From now on, he is a father. He remembered his father's strictness and kindness since he was a child in Dingwang Mansion. Every time he got into trouble, his father always punished him mercilessly, and then his brother would beg for mercy. But he knew that every time after punishing him, his father would always come to see him quietly in the middle of the night, and sigh helplessly.

He had hardly thought that he would become a father one day, and when he found out that Ahri was pregnant, he was furious. So he always felt that he didn't like this child. But... the soft and warm feeling that surged in his heart was completely different from the one he had for Ahri.

This is his son, who needs his protection now, his instruction when he grows up, and will grow into a man as tall as him.

"Well, don't compete with me for A'li, otherwise... your father will love you well." Mo Xiuyao leaned down and stared at the sleeping baby in the cradle and warned.

Ye Li opened her eyes dazedly, and saw Mo Xiuyao sitting beside the bed, talking to the baby with his head down, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Mo Xiuyao's face froze when his wife discovered his childish behavior. He sat back on the bed pretending nothing had happened and whispered, "Why are you awake?" Ye Li looked at him and saw that he hadn't even changed his clothes. It was obvious that he hadn't slept at all. "Why don't you rest?" Mo Xiuyao held her in his arms and said sullenly, "I couldn't sleep." Ye Li sat up from his arms, pushed the distance between them and looked at the expression on his face carefully, and asked softly, "What's wrong? You're not too excited about the birth of the baby, are you?" Mo Xiuyao pouted in disdain and glanced at the baby lying in the cradle. Ye Li smiled helplessly. The baby had been despised by her father since she was still in her belly and now that she was just born. If Ye Li didn't understand Mo Xiuyao's character and thoughts, she would have suspected that he hated his child. How would this father and son get along in the future?

"I noticed that you looked a little strange before, but I didn't have time to ask you at that time. What happened?" Ye Li asked softly, leaning against Mo Xiu Yao.

Mo Xiuyao raised his hand and rubbed Ye Li's half-fallen hair, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "I think we should take over the matter we investigated about Tan Jizhi and Su Zuidi before."

"Oh?" Ye Li raised her head. Just by looking at Mo Xiuyao's gloomy expression, she knew that this matter might be very shocking. She patted Mo Xiuyao's hand gently and comforted him, "No matter what happens, we will always be together." Mo Xiuyao was startled and nodded, "I know."

"Your Highness, Commander Qin requests to see you." Outside, Qingyu, who was on guard, reported in a low voice.

Mo Xiuyao nodded, stood up and said to Ye Li: "I'll go take a look, Ah Li, take a rest first." Ye Li also knew that she was not in good health now, nodded, thought for a while and said: "If Su Zuidi really wants to confess, you might as well ask Su Lao to sit in." Mo Xiuyao nodded, "I know, don't worry about these things. Have a good rest." He helped Ye Li lie down and covered her with a quilt, then Mo Xiuyao turned around and walked out. He glanced at Qingyu Qingluan who was waiting at the door and said: "Take good care of the princess." Qingyu Qingluan stood up and said: "Please rest assured, my lord."

In the empty room, Su Zuidie sat on a chair placed in the middle of the room. There was no one guarding her in the room, and no one would worry about her escaping or committing suicide. She didn't even have the strength to walk a hundred steps out of the room due to the massive blood loss and various tortures in the past six months. She had just been dragged away to be washed and changed into clean clothes. Su Zuidie looked at the clean clothes on her body in a daze. The dirty and gloomy prison life in the past six months almost made her forget what cleanliness looked like. She could only keep convincing herself to forget so that she could hold on in such an environment, but now... she finally couldn't hold on any longer. When she felt her blood flowing out drop by drop, she realized how terrible death was. If those people had come a little later, she might have already bled out. She had already lost the moment she asked for mercy. She absolutely could not bear to experience that slow and quiet death again.

The door was opened from the outside, and Mo Xiuyao walked in, followed by Qin Feng, Zhuo Jing and Feng Zhiyao.

Mo Xiuyao walked to the side and sat down, and the others also sat down one after another. Su Zuidie stared at the white-haired man in front of her. The Mo Xiuyao in front of her was dressed in white and had white hair. His expression was calm and his eyes were indifferent, giving people a sense of distance and indifference. This was completely different from the Mo Xiuyao in Su Zuidie's memory, "Xiu... Xiuyao... You are Xiuyao? How come you..." Mo Xiuyao frowned and glanced at Qin Feng impatiently. Qin Feng looked at Su Zuidie and said in a deep voice: "Miss Su, since you are willing to confess, say it in front of the prince. It's late at night and no one has much time to waste."

Su Zuidie suddenly came to her senses, and met the cold light in Mo Xiuyao's eyes, and said in a sad voice: "Xiuyao, are you really unwilling to show any mercy? Do you still remember that we grew up together since childhood... I know I was wrong..." Mo Xiuyao stood up, stared at Qin Feng coldly and said: "Is this the result you said? It's a waste of my time. Deal with it... Send someone to Chujing as soon as possible!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk out. The so-called deal with it, of course, refers to dealing with Su Zuidie. As long as you know a little bit, you don't have to worry about not being able to find out what happened later. Su Zuidie's usefulness seems insignificant. Compared with now facing this woman who makes him disgusted, it is better to go back to the room to accompany A'li.

Su Zuidie was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Mo Xiuyao to be so ruthless. She just said a few words and he walked away impatiently. Su Zuidie felt a chill in her heart. She looked at Qin Feng who was staring at her with murderous intent and screamed in fear: "No! Don't! I'll tell you... whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Feng Zhiyao sneered and sat back in his chair.

"What did you take from Prince Ding's Mansion back then?" Qin Feng asked.

Su Zuidie glanced at Mo Xiuyao who was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's... the marching formation of the Mo family army. I... I have a good memory since I was a child. I only saw those pictures once and memorized them. I will find a way to draw them after leaving Prince Ding's Mansion." Everyone's face was the same, recalling the disastrous defeat of the Mo family army against the Northern Rong ten years ago. Qin Feng frowned and asked, "Did you see the map was handed over to Tan Jizhi and Mo Jingqi?" Su Zuidie nodded and said, "Yes, Mo Jingqi sent Tan Jizhi to find me and asked me to help, so I agreed."

"What do they want to do with the Mohist army's formation map?" Feng Zhiyao asked. Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he still needed Su Zuidie to confirm it in person.

Su Zuidie looked at Feng Zhiyao and suddenly chuckled, saying, "What's the use? Mo Jingqi has long disliked the Mo family army and Mo Xiuwen, so he took his battle formation map and gave it to the Beirong people. Otherwise, why do you think the Mo family army was ambushed by the Beirong and suffered heavy casualties?" Qin Feng's face was gloomy. His family had served the Dingwang Mansion for generations, and his father and several uncles died in that battle. Staring at Su Zuidie who was smiling smugly, Qin Feng asked, "Why did you help Mo Jingqi frame the Dingwang Mansion?!" This was also something that everyone was puzzled about. As the fiancée of the second son of the Dingguo Palace at that time, Su Zuidie made many famous ladies envious. Why did she help Mo Jingqi to destroy the Dingwang Mansion? This did her no good.

Su Zuidie was stunned, and looked at Mo Xiuyao who seemed to be asleep sitting on the side. He sneered, raised his uninjured hand and pointed at Mo Xiuyao, saying: "Why? Why...you have to ask him!"

Feng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows, looked at Mo Xiuyao and said, "Could it be that the prince did something to let you down?" Even so, this woman's revenge was a little too brutal. No wonder she was able to survive in Qin Feng's hands for so long. Su Zuidie laughed, looking at Mo Xiuyao's eyes full of resentment and inexplicable love and madness, "Is he sorry to me? No... he is not sorry to me. But... he is also not sorry to me! I, Su Zuidie, am the most beautiful and talented woman in Da Chu, and there are so many princes and sons who admire me. But in his eyes, I am just an engaged fiancée!" Feng Zhiyao frowned, he and Mo Xiuyao became friends since they were young, and he saw how Mo Xiuyao treated Su Zuidie. It was not bad, the second son of Dingwang Mansion was famous in the capital, and many daughters of noble families and beautiful women threw themselves into his arms, but he never said a word. He was only very good to Su Zuidie, who was engaged, and was only close to her. With all this being the case, what is there for Su Zuidie to be dissatisfied about?

As if she understood Feng Zhiyao's expression, Su Zuidie snorted and said proudly: "Even the prince is very caring and obedient to me. But him... since I have already promised him, he refuses to agree to even the slightest request!" From her words, it seemed that being promised to Mo Xiuyao was a condescension on her part. Looking at the snow-white and cold man in front of her, Su Zuidie's eyes were blurred, and she said softly: "But it doesn't matter... I love him. Even if all the princes and nobles in the capital come to me to show their courtesy, I only love Xiu Yao. Why... Xiu Yao, why don't you agree to even a small request of mine? The Regent King loves you so much, as long as you ask him, he will definitely pass the throne of Prince Ding to you. And Mo Xiuwen... He has no interest in marching and fighting. Obviously you have more military exploits than him, why do you give up the throne of Prince Ding to him? How can I be a small wife of the second young master of Prince Ding's mansion for my whole life? How can I let those women step on my head? I love you so much, but you are unwilling to do even this small request for me..."

The room was completely silent. Qin Feng and the other two looked at the woman sitting in the chair as if they had seen a ghost. With several scars and a red and swollen face, and a look that was sometimes infatuated, sometimes gentle, sometimes resentful, and sometimes twisted, she looked particularly vicious and terrifying.

As if she had finally spoken out all the grievances she had suffered for so many years, Su Zuidie seemed to be getting out of control and continued to chatter, "This is all your fault. If you had been the Prince of Ding, everything would have been fine. But I just cautiously tested you with one sentence, and you actually gave me a cold look and scolded me! Mo Xiuyao! This is all your fault! Haha, how could I let those ugly women bully me and show off their power? Only I, Su Zuidie, should be a noble woman admired and envied by thousands of people. You actually don't want to compete with Mo Xiuwen, I'll help you... As long as Mo Xiuwen dies, the position of Prince of Ding will be yours, and I will be the Princess of Ding. What's wrong with that? Why don't I help Mo Jingqi and Tan Jizhi?" "The more Su Zuidie talked, the more excited she became. The look on her face became crazier. She pointed at Mo Xiuyao and laughed wildly, "But... why were you injured? Why were you disfigured? Why did you become a cripple? Mo Xiuyao, it's all your fault. Who told you not to listen to me? Who told you not to love me? If you loved me, you should do everything I wanted for me, just like Han Mingyue. Haha... The first time I saw Han Mingyue, I knew he was a deceitful idiot. Sometimes I also hope that you are as deceitful as him. Why don't you listen to me? Isn't it enough that I love you so much... If you listened to me, how could Mo Xiuwen die? Haha... It's all your fault. How could Mo Xiuwen not die? You deserved him to die..."

A white shadow passed through the room, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Xiuyao was in front of Su Zuidie. One hand ruthlessly clamped her slender neck, and his eyes stared coldly at the woman with a distorted expression who was struggling in front of him, "Who killed my brother?" Mo Xiuyao asked coldly. Su Zuidie was caught by the neck and immediately couldn't breathe. She raised her hand to pry Mo Xiuyao's hand open. But with her strength, how could she be Mo Xiuyao's opponent. After a while, she began to roll her eyes, "Speak!"

“Mmm…Mo…Jing…Mmm…” Seeing that he was about to die, Mo Xiuyao suddenly let go of his hand. A large amount of air rushed into Su Zuidie and he began to cough violently, “Who killed my eldest brother?” Mo Xiuyao asked again.

"Mo... Mo Jingqi and the Liu family... as well as the Beirong Nanzhao and Xiling royal family... Mo Xiuwen didn't die of illness... he was assassinated... ahem..." Looking at Mo Xiuyao in front of him, Su Zuidie didn't dare to hide anything anymore, "And... and the Regent... the Regent was killed by the late emperor. However... before his death, the Regent also sent someone to severely injure the late emperor, so the late emperor died within two years. This is... ahem... this is what Mo Jingqi told me." Seeing Mo Xiuyao silent, Su Zuidie hurriedly said, "It's true! The late emperor had someone give the Regent a drunk incense. It's a colorless and odorless poison. There's nothing unusual at first after being poisoned, but after five days, he'll show signs of being seriously ill, and then die. No matter how skilled the doctor is, he can't find out the cause of death."

Feng Zhiyao and Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing looked at each other, both of them were shocked. Of course they knew what Drunken Incense was. It was said that it was one of the three most bizarre poisons in the world, along with the Blue Sky and Yellow Springs and the Red Beauty and Dry Bones, according to the poison scripture that had been lost for thousands of years. However, the death of the Regent King was actually related to the late emperor, which was more shocking than the death of Mo Xiuwen and Mo Jingqi. The Regent King Mo Liufang can be said to be a rare wise minister in the world. Before the late emperor ascended the throne, the Great Chu was not much better than it is now. Xiling and Beirong were eyeing him covetously. At that time, the less than 20-year-old Prince Ding Mo Liufang resisted the armies of Xiling and Beirong with his own power. Later, he led his army to quell the rebellion. When the late emperor ascended the throne, he was only a dozen years old. Mo Liufang, who was just in his early twenties, was named the Regent King. Mo Liufang was able to stabilize the country with his military skills and govern the country with his literary skills. Unlike many regents who usurped power and bullied young rulers, he assisted the late emperor with all his heart and even took the initiative to resign from the position of regent after the late emperor came of age. The harmony between the emperor and his subjects for more than 20 years can be said to be a good story for all ages. Now Su Zuidi has revealed such a secret. How can it not be shocking? Is history really written to fool the world?

Mo Xiuyao walked back to his seat and sat down, lost in thought. Qin Feng looked at Mo Xiuyao and saw that he had no intention of asking questions, so he said, "Xue Chengliang said that you took two things from Prince Ding's mansion, but gave one to Mo Jingqi. Where is the other thing?"

Su Zuidie's expression froze, and his ugly face became even more frightening. After a long silence, Su Zuidie whispered, "It's the imperial edict that Emperor Taizu left for Dingguo Palace." Qin Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Where is it? What does it say?" Su Zuidie said, "Emperor Taizu's edict is that the Great Chu royal family and Dingguo Palace are brothers forever. If the emperor of the future generations wants to harm Dingguo Palace, Prince Dingguo can depose the emperor and establish a new emperor." Everyone was shocked. It's no wonder that Mo Jingqi had to save Su Zuidie for such an important thing.

"Where is the thing?" Feng Zhiyao asked. With this thing, are they afraid that it's not that bastard Mo Jingqi?

Su Zuidie gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I will tell you?" Su Zuidie was not a fool. After she revealed these things, this was her only life-saving talisman. Mo Xiuyao stood up and ordered in a calm voice, "Qin Feng, deal with her." After that, he turned and walked out. Su Zuidie stared at Mo Xiuyao in disbelief and screamed, "Don't you want the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu?" Mo Xiuyao turned around and smiled coldly, "If I want to kill Mo Jingqi, I can kill him with or without the imperial edict." After that, he walked out of the room without looking at Su Zuidie who was lying on the ground.

Outside the door, Su Zhe, Han Mingyue, Han Mingxi, Lu Jinxian and others were all in another room, but their expressions were very different. Su Zhe's face turned red and white, and his lips and hands kept shaking, obviously he was very angry. Han Mingyue's face was pale, and it seemed that he didn't even see Mo Xiuyao coming out. Lu Jinxian, Mo Shu and others were so angry that they wanted to rush in and kill Su Zuidi immediately. Han Mingxi was the calmest, but he couldn't hide his shock.

"Mr. Su can go in and see her." Mo Xiuyao said calmly.

Su Zhe gurgled twice in his throat, and after a long while he managed to speak, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay for me to teach you... This evil creature actually committed such a sin. How can I face the ancestors of the Su family again..." With a puff, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Su Zhe's mouth, and the whole person fell down. Han Mingxi, who was closest and most sober, hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Zhe, and heard Su Zhe say: "This evil creature... Let the prince deal with it..." Seeing Su Zhe fainted, Mo Xiuyao was silent for a moment and said: "Please ask Mr. Shen."

Lu Jinxian wanted to speak, but Uncle Mo on the side secretly pulled him back and said, "It's getting late, the rest of the things can be dealt with tomorrow. Besides, the princess has just given birth to the little prince, and she will always be uneasy if she can't see the prince when she wakes up." Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "You should go back early too." Seeing Mo Xiuyao leave, Lu Jinxian said angrily, "I still have something to say, but what about you, Chief Steward Mo..." Chief Steward Mo shook his head and said, "Let the prince take it slow. Anyway, the matter has been known, are you still afraid that you can't take revenge?" Such a thing, even they were shocked to hear, not to mention how shocked the prince would be. The prince's health was not good, if he collapsed because of this, it would be a loss. Realizing that what Manager Mo said made sense, Lu Jinxian glared at the wall in front of him and said in a gruff voice, "That's fine, there's still a long way to go! I'm going back too."

The people in the room left quickly, and Han Mingyue stared at the closed door in front of him, unable to move at all. He knew that in the room... maybe Su Zuidie was slowly dying, but he couldn't make himself stand up and push open the door that was not locked at all.

"The first time I saw Han Mingyue, I knew he was a deceitful idiot..."

first…

The peach blossoms were falling like rain in the forest. The fourteen-year-old boy saw the thirteen-year-old girl in pink dancing to the conversation.

"Are you Xiu Yao's friend? Zui Die has met Master Ming Yue."

From then on, I fell into the trap of love and could never escape.
